Indeed. I've played around (again) recently with both nose and
py.test, so I'd like to make a meta comment.
I would really like to see some of the people who are interested in
Python unit testing to get together and work on an updated testing
framework that incorporates the best ideas from all the existing
frameworks. I'd like to see good integration with setuptools, both
for running the tests and for packaging. I'd like to see good doctest
support, with the ability to hook in setups and teardowns. I'd like
to see some of useful things like layers taken from zope.testing.
This doesn't belong on python-dev, and probably not on python-ideas
either, but I'd be willing to start a testing SIG on python.org if
others are interested in getting together for this purpose. The goal
should be to produce something like a unittest-ng, distribute it via
the Cheeseshop, and gather consensus around it for possible inclusion
in Python 2.7/3.1.
